It didn’t really feel like the calendar changed this past weekend, did it? Mrs. McLaughlin, the kids and I spent some time each day this past weekend at the pool, and yesterday was just downright hot! I suppose we shouldn’t complain, because it’s been a pretty good summer in terms of heat, and here’s hoping cooler times are just around the corner. Another Labor Day is behind us and we’re back in school. To me, that just feels right this time of year.
September is a really special month in a school. Kids have gotten into their routines and we’re starting the traditions and activities that make our worlds so special. Our first activity period is coming up on Friday, the sixth grade social is two weeks after that and our first whole school dance is the following Friday. SCA elections are next week, then the magazine drive starts and the Friday night lights at WAHS are already blazing. We’ll also hit back-to-school night this month, walk kids through the age old ritual of the school picture (chin up, look to the left and smile!), send out our first interim reports, and discover some great new reads at the book fair. September’s going to be a busy one, no doubt, but to me it’s busy in a good way. There’s just something about the earlier sunsets, the cooler mornings and the first peeks of the colors of fall that remind me that school is starting and that we’ve all got to get back to the jobs we love. Let’s enjoy it while we can because we know it will quickly pass us by (did I mention that Halloween candy is out at Wal-mart…..)
